bullshit, what does a 6th-grade level looks like anyway?

>Adults below or at Level 1 may struggle to understand texts beyond filling out basic forms, and they find it difficult to make inferences from written material. Adults at Level 2 can read well enough to evaluate product reviews and perform other tasks requiring comparisons and simple inferences, but they’re unlikely to correctly evaluate the reliability of texts or draw sophisticated inferences. Adults at Level 3 and above were considered fully literate.
basically they can read good enough to know which brand they're consuming but cannot understand what the themes or ideas in a book are

Then it's not an 11 year old level. And probably bullshit.
Those descriptions are likely conjecture.
Really interesting how you vaguely attribute this to a supposed conspiracy by corporations to turn people into mindless cattle so they consume their products, do you have a single bit of evidence for that? I don't even care about these standards anyway, I honestly see no reason why things decided to be valuable BY THE GOVERNMENT should be considered actually valuable, let alone be enforced as a standard for what everyone should "know" how to do.

I think this is a general trend worldwide since people read less and less and watch more and more. This has been going on since TV first appeared but it has increased with the Internet and social media like twitter to the point where people don't even have the patience to read a news article anymore.
The austrian national library has an online newspaper archive going back to the 1700s and its really interesting to see the slow transformation of very small printed very long winded articles going on for pages with no illustrations at all to the modern tabloids in large print with short articles and large pictures on every page.

meds. they literally say level 2 can read good enough to read a product review but cannot understand complex writings like books

I don't believe that in the 1/2 population of the richest country on earth are functionally illiterate, even my mom who never stepped a foot in a school can read and understand medicine packaging leaflets, articles and cooking books and novels just fine.

I don't buy it.

Have you seen Shartonians write? I totally believe it.

Not particularly shocking news.

Leave my children alone

Explains why the average mutt on this website has such poor reading comprehension.

It's the same in every country, you know. We made the previously illiterate 90% of the population nominally literate so they could decipher posts on social media and understand basic written instructions, but like always only a small percentage is actually proficient.

Cesser les conneries svp

I like to read, AMA.

>over 100 million cletuses, spics, negros, mentally disabled retards
yeah it would not be surprising

import the 3rd World, become the 3rd World.

>Have you seen Shartonians write? I totally believe it.
I have but I still refuse to believe this they must be pretending

Whites in America are only smarter than nogs.

>ur cunt getting btfo by suomalilainen

Average Korean is 2 times the IQ of an average American(white) let that sink in.

so you're saying a bunch of idiots conquered the entire world and forced them to use their websites? reality is stranger than fiction, as they say.

A lot of people really do fucking struggle, they can roughly sound out medicine instructions and most short text messages and that's about it. They just get that way because they're allowed to I think, but I'm not willing to rule out the possibility we just have a lot of genetic-level retards, or is right.

We're sort of like orcs, 99.9% of us retarded but the brain boyz carry the weight.

Cletus that's 90% of the deep south around 78 million people with below 70 IQ.

On the other hand even young people constantly ask me how to get to places or what bus to take despite holding phones that contain all the information they need

You import brainboyz from Jewish and Germans.

This Inertia from the consequences of WW2 means the US can import the best from most countries in the world.

>lower school standards
>surprised no one can read
wow shocker

That's most people in the world unironically. It's called functional illiteracy.

yes the whole south, from west coast to east coast, is full of retards

What's weird is I can even remember these people in school, they had to do all the same reading but it was sort of taken for granted that their parent or a tutor or someone would basically do the reading for them, since getting them to even sound out the syllables was a challenge, I reckon there's something in the water.

we were already the best before WW2, that's why they made an American general Supreme Commander.

>we were already the best before WW2
false

Most ivy league schools show their admissions and domestic students still make up the majority. It more has to do with education being tied to property taxes, so if you live in a poor shithole you'll get a poor shithole education. there is a reason why some families drive an hour or whatever to enroll their child in a nicer school.

Most of your smartest tend to go become painboyz to extract as much paper from the mob with often unnecessary surgeries.

This is good for democracy and free press. Poor voter education saves money in the production of electoral media content. Instead of boring scientific discussions about the economy, there are enough tik-tok influencers wagging their asses in a presidential candidate's T-shirt.

Funnily enough Koreans also can't properly read their language.
